 Content warning: This is a video of the gunman approaching the entrance, apparently getting shot (although it's not really visible in the video). He then runs away and at the very end appears to fall down.  https://mobile.twitter.com/WFAAJFlo/status/1140660291778359298

Looked like someone was already shooting at him from down the sidewalk. A few bullets hit the wall before he runs. There have been a few shootings at courthouses so far so they tend to have some armed guards hanging around.

pretty sure he got tagged at least once during that second round of shots when he broke cover in the parking lot. He didn't get up from where he went down there at the end.

If you watch the uncut video all the way to the end you see him falling behind a car, which is almost definitely from being shot. It's very normal for someone under adrenaline to suffer fatal gunshot wounds and continue running with little or no reaction for a surprisingly long period before they die. John Lennon's heart and left lung were basically pulped by Chapman's .38 (the doctors said that he could have been shot while on the table ready for surgery and it still wouldn't have been enough to save his life) but he still made it up the stairs to his apartment's reception desk and told the people inside that he'd been shot before collapsing.

Their swords are made from 1055 carbon steel and made simply but well, so they're not these mastercraft swords with hand-folded blades but they're perfectly functional and lethal as long as you sharpen them. It's basically a good machete shaped like a sword. Feinne posted:It doesn't even look like it'd make a very good machete. It makes an okay machete. Its shape isn't ideal but the blade itself is good and won't fly off when you swing at something.

It's basically a good machete shaped like a sword. Oh cool good to know, I generally expect poo poo like this to be just showy nonsense. I mean it still sort of is because you bought a machete in the shape of a sword. And not just any sword but the one literally called a penis.

Ok yes, for their cheap rear end price? Cold Steel isnt bad, but I handle a lot of very very good weapons so Cold Steel always feels cheap and gross to me compared to everything else I handle It still does not detract from this lovely ROMAN CENTURION LARPer gently caress that bought a 37$ machete to DEFEND WESTERN CIVILIZATION and how loving lame that is

I mean they're good compared to stuff like mall katanas at the same price. They're about as solid as a good machete and won't break on you. You could do a lot worse for strapping a sword to your belt to defend white supremacy in TYOOL 2019. What he should have done was bought one of their $600 katanas instead.

Using a weapon trying to tap into a different weapon's symbolism as the defender of Roman civilization when said weapon is meant to be used in formation with large shields but you're all alone.
